“Flexible Dieting” Full Day Of Eating

As you may or may not know, in my previous article I introduced you “How IIFYM Changed My Life”. I know that some of you are not familiar with this kind of lifestyle, so I wanted to show you what I typically eat in a day. I usually try to get around 5-6 meals (including my snacks) but when I cannot eat this frequently, I try sticking to 3 bigger meals.

SNACK

Snack time is usually 2-3 hours after my breakfast. This also happens to be my pre-workout mealsince I like to train in the late mornings. I love this meal simply because you can choose whatever you want as long as it fits your macros. My favourite snack is some different flavour oreos with a high-protein bar of choice!

POST-WORKOUT

As soon as I finish my workout I make some recovery smoothie. In this meal I like to go almost “no-fat” and I choose many different fruits. I also put some greens to get my vitamins. So, ingredients in this smoothie are usually – 100g frozen mango, 100g frozen strawberries, 100g spinach, 1/2 cucumber, 200ml almond milk and 30g protein powder.

As you can see, these are actually pretty good macros considering that I had some of so called “forbidden” foods. I can’t stress enough how happy I am now when I can allow myself these foods because of flexible dieting. When I was eating clean I was scared to even take one single bite of such snacks. I hope you all benefit of these articles and remember that finding the perfect balance is key to a successful “IIFYM” diet.
